Weighing Daily

I weigh myself every day or every other day. I find seeing that slight decrease in weight is an awesome way to start my day. Sometimes my weight my fluctuate up which is normals, but then I think to myself it is a cardio day and I hit the gym. For some people weighing everyday may not work, but for me it is motivating!

Tracking your weight like that will work against you, psychologically, when you eventually transition into focusing more on fitness than just weight loss. You won't be able to trust the scale anymore and the massive fluctuations you will see (even some weight gain depending on how you choose to go about it) may discourage you from wanting to go through with it. Basically, you WILL eventually reach a point where weight loss alone is no longer the goal. When you reach that point the scale will no longer be your guide and if you learn to depend on it this way you're setting yourself up for a fall.

I weigh every time I go to the gym whether it is day after day or a couple days missed. I don't hold too much stock in small fluctuations and recorded weekly on here, I did not record the weight daily. It is not recommended because it can be a demotivator. There is definately stock in forgetting the scale at points because the tape measure might move the right direction when the scale moves the wrong way. IT is best to keep a balanced eye on all forms of measurement rather than putting all your eggs (or in this case losses) in one basket. Be well informed. How do you feel? How are your clothes fitting? Are you nitcing other physical changes? Make and meet your mini goals while keeping your eye on the prize....
